Islands Dark

Dark color theme for VS Code, inspired by JetBrains' Islands Dark scheme. Tuned for accurate Go semantic highlighting.

Features

  • Distinct colors for type declaration vs reference (white vs teal)
  • Distinct colors for function declaration vs call (blue vs tan)
  • Bracket-pair-colorization-friendly palette (disable VS Code's built-in for the closest match)
  • Full Go / TypeScript / Rust / Python / Markdown / YAML / JSON coverage

Recommended companion settings

For the closest match to GoLand's behavior, add to your settings.json:

{
  "workbench.colorTheme": "Islands Dark",
  "editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled": false,
  "gopls": {
    "ui.semanticTokens": true
  }
}

gopls.ui.semanticTokens is required for the function/type declaration vs reference distinction in Go.
